A lot of information is from 2013-2014. I think the course should update new guests and information

Enjoyable Program; Outdated Content

I’m halfway through the program. I enjoy the lectures and content very much, but I do feel it’s outdated. Much of the content is from 2014 and 2015 it seems, which, in this field, isn’t a little outdated, but a lot. I’d love some lectures from current leaders in the field who can offer current statistics and breakthroughs and up-to-date literature for myself and potential clients. To me, it’s a lazy move on IIN’s part and causing me to lose some interest, but the idea of it all is enjoyable. (I also couldn’t get a response on FB DM with questions about it which is discouraging.)

Hi Samantha,

Thank you so much for your feedback. We’re so happy you’re enjoying the content and lectures and appreciate you sharing your thoughts. We are consistently updating the curriculum with new, fresh content with the most respected thought leaders in the industry. That being said, the curriculum is meant to be timeless. There are lectures and teachers whose content remains just as valuable and true today and we believe is imperative for students to learn. We want our students to take these concepts and form their own opinion. Nutrition is the only science where two studies can be oppositional and both true. For that reason, we are unbiased and solely focus on transformation and action.

Regarding your questions on Facebook, as we state in the program and on Facebook, our moderators only respond to the comments left within the main Facebook group. They don’t respond to the private messages they receive. If you have a question for your moderator, we would encourage you to post in the main Facebook group or reach out to the Student Success team at support@integrativenutrition.com.

Thank you again for sharing your feedback and we hope this helps to address your concerns.

Great study, great work!

I loved the study, it was fun to do and made me feel part of the community. I Love the work of spreading the word and making eating and living more healthy.simpler. What I missed in the study was the practice of coaching. If you don't find the right sparring partners yourself, and this is not always easy, there is no support other than 'keep trying'.

I tend to be more forward thinking than…

I tend to be more forward thinking than most. It was a big, expensive confirmation of everything I was doing already and why. I have not used this education once in the year I’ve been certified. There is zero support post program, so if you don’t already have start up capital and a network, Good Luck. I was also told as part of my tuition I would be financially covered to sit for a proctored exam for a national certification. The sales person lied to me and no one wants to make good on it now. The exam was an additional $150 I was bluntly told yes, it was included in the program. I asked directly.

They make it sound like the possibilities are endless. All possibilities are endless all the time. It doesn’t make the reality stronger. Most people can’t do this unless you hustle people for many, many months or buy a network. They claim to give guidance on how to sell heart centered, but it’s just a few videos with no real substance. Many people are currently not working or Do not have the money to spend on what they see as a luxury. Of course, there’s always the one person that did create a coaching program from nothing. That they claim “can be done.” This is not the case for the majority. They are selling you hope and excitement.

Save your money. If you want to health coach, find something more in-depth. This program is a very expensive stepping stone you could easily do without. I regret my purchase 100%. I still owe for half of a useless program. There is just not enough substance and communication/post program support for me. By the time I finish my next step, this will be obsolete. And I will still owe them money. Pass!

Hi Kelli,

We are sorry to hear this was your experience, as that is far from what we hope for our students and graduates. The Health Coach Training Program equips graduates with the knowledge and resources they need to be a Health Coach without any further education or certification. We have successful graduates using their certificate to health coach around the world. Should individual people decide further education and certification is right for them, those options are there as well, but again are not a requirement to practice as a Health Coach. As with any business, it does take some hard work to get your own coaching practice off the ground. If that is not for you, we also have graduates that work as health coaches in already established businesses like wellness centers, gyms, offices, etc. I would encourage you to explore opportunities within those spaces, if you have not already. If you have further questions, we have a dedicated Student Success Team who can help support you further.

Excellent Health Coach Program

I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to train with IIN. As I begin my health coaching practice, I feel so well-equipped with the knowledge I've gained from them and am secure in that I have their resources to reference in the future.

This institute changed me and my family life. Since I started, we are eating better, we improved our style of life and also we are more healthy than before, especially my husband that use to eat very very unhealthy. Also, I have already started my new business of health coaching, which is keeping me very motivated and happy. Thanks IIN for all, I will miss attending class!

Life changing experience

It's has been mind blowing for me, it certainly has shaken a lot the way of me viewing life styles, my life, my family, the world and how I can put my grain of sand to help out.
I would've loved to see more updated material, the digital era is moving so fast that it needs to go along and introduce maybe some live teaching sessions during the program.

A life-changing journey

I don't have enough words to express my appreciation and gratitude for IIN. I feel literally blessed for finding this Institute and further supporting my personal, as well as so many other people, health journey by educating myself from the best professionals of the field, and making lasting behavioural changes!
IIN has changed my approach to food and to life in general, and has managed to grow my passion for being of service and sharing my knowledge with whoever needs it!

No certificate until now

I did my graduation and I did the full payment before even we start the course but I didn't get my certificate which supposed to be sent one year now. I contacted them regarding it and they said that they send it via normal post and they ask me if I accept to pay an extra charge to send it via a fast and safe mailing service. I did accept and I paid extra charge but no certificate I tried to reach them via e learning center sending many complain everytime they came with a new reason corona situation and they aren't working in their office so they can't do anything for moment even if I know that all the shipment companies and mailing services are back to work along time ago
I'm really upset about their negligence and no reaction they supposed to assure the reception of my certificate during 4 to 8 weeks after I graduated now it's been one year I didn't get it

Hi Badia,

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this comment. I’m sorry you’ve had such a frustrating experience. We strive to get our certificates out within 4-8 weeks of graduation to all graduates. Unfortunately, Corona virus has significantly impacted our normal operations, including printing. We’ve recently switched printers, and are working on getting any missed certificates printed, signed, and mailed as soon as possible.

We’ve looked in to your account, and we will re-print and re-send your certificate via fedex in the next 3-5 days. Someone from our support team will reach out to you via email to forward the tracking and delivery information.

Please accept our most sincere apology. We know that this rate of certificate delivery is not our practice, and we are working to ensure that you, and all members of our community receive things from us in a timely and efficient manner going forward.
